ABSTRACT
Sub-Saharan transnational migrants have to rebuild a 'social life' and collectively organise the everyday life and the spaces through which they circulate, where they settle down and end up dwelling in. Taking a closer look at these stopping places in the Maghreb in general, and in Morocco in particular, one can notice that these places were already strongly permeated by the web of social relationships woven by preceding migrants. International migration has turned into a globalised issue reflecting multiple realities in which individual dimensions, initiatives and projects, ought to be placed centre stage when appraising this social experience. The new circulating populations in the Maghreb adopt, for the most part, a migratory strategy consisting in crossing and circulating in stages on the road to Europe from North African countries. North African stopovers are interconnected through social relationships built by migrants through incessant movements: deterritorialised social relationships woven through migration reflect the conditions of their fulfilment.
